Interesting paper by the groups of Jongmin Park, Juyong Lee and Hankum Park in Nature Communications. They developed muscle-specific PROTACs engaging the E3 ligase KLHL41. Great to see the most potent molecules with covalent KLHL41 ligands.

Discovery of a KLHL41 Ligand for Muscle Specific Protein Degradation - Nature Communications

PROTACs rely mainly on ubiquitous E3 ligases, limiting tissue selectivity. Here, the authors identify a ligand of muscle specific E3 ligase KLHL41 and develop a covalent PROTAC (cKBD-1) that enables potent, muscle-specific protein degradation in vitro and in vivo.

Amazing @[email protected] Lecture by @[email protected]! She talked about her group's exciting work on protein C-terminal cyclic imids as natural ligands of cereblon for protein degradation. (1/3) www.nature.com/articles/s41... #TPD #DrugDiscovery #ChemBio #ChemSky #Degron

We are very happy that Christina Woo visited us today for a very well-attended LED3 Lecture. She talked about the importance of C-terminal cyclic imides as natural #degrons for protein degradation with important implications for targeted protein degradation.

Very much looking forward to the @LED3hub Lecture by Christina Woo! I am sure it will be a great one.

If you are interested in #ChemicalProteomics and/or targeted protein degradation #TPD, you will not want to miss it.
